Hi David, I recently purchased an AA Broadbill. It is a homebuilt and I have a thread on the forum that has turned into a thread on repairs (Advice on sneakbox - AA Broadbill or MLB Wigeon). If you have a home built you might find a picture on the thread that would give you an idea. My...

I would not say I'm a woodworker. In the last 10 years of my career I collected a few tools: a General 14" bandsaw, I rebuilt a Unisaw and a Makita 2030 jointer/planer thinking I would need something to do. Unfortunately my garage is not big enough for the boat and tools and I had to put...

With no help to turn the boat over I picked at a few things that were bothering me. 1: Rub Rails - there are a couple of sections of the rub rails where there are gaps between the rail and the hull. Using a heat gun and putty knife, I was able to release a section of the rail. I thought the...
